Evaluating the effect of the plan of national syphilis control in controlling the syphilis epidemic in Jiangsu, China 2010-2020.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Starting in 2010, the Chinese government initiated a 10-year syphilis control plan, called the national syphilis control plan (NSCP), to address the emerging threat of syphilis. We aimed to evaluate the effect of the NSCP plan on syphilis control in Jiangsu, China. Methods: The temporal trends of syphilis incidence, prevalence and rate of condom use were estimated by Joinpoint regression with average annual percent change (APC) and average annual percentage (APPC). A Chi-square test was conducted to analyze the outcomes in different subgroups. ArcGIS was used to analyze the spatiotemporal distribution of syphilis incidence. Results: Geographically, early and congenital syphilis incidence decreased significantly in all areas of the province during the period of NSCP. Early syphilis incidence decreased from 21.1 to 8.8 (APC: -7.5, 95%CI: -8.6, -6.5, Conclusion: Trends of early syphilis incidence and syphilis prevalence show a considerable decreasing trend among almost all the key populations after implementing NSCP. Congenital syphilis has significantly decreased as well and hence, the NSCP program should be sustained and strengthened to control the syphilis epidemic in China further.
